33cl bottle from Kingdom Liquors (Tampa, FL). Pours a hazy, caramel golden with a thick and frothy white head that settles slowly. Good head retention and glass lacing. Aroma is heavily yeast and bread with hints of ripe fruit, barnyard funk, and fresh hay. Clearly visible particulates throughout. Flavor is strongly yeast and bread as well with notes of caramel, honey, and sour fruit. Medium body with a slightly sweet and malty finish. Interesting.

Bottle @ home. Dark golden colour, huge lasting white rocky head. Bit sweet, bit sour, fruity and slightly alcoholic. Nice rounded and full mouthfeel, overall a very good tripel

Gold color with large off-white head and nice lacing. Strong hoppy and fruity aroma. Light spicy flavor with nice fruit and hop notes. Very refreshing and easy to drink.

8% ABV Bottle. Aroma of sweet carmelized malts. Mostly clear with a small white head. Sweet candi sugar flavor with spicey belgian yeast notes,carmelized malts, and orange/peach fruityness. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Finish is candi sugar sweet withsome sherry notes. Very very good.
